" NoN-REFILLAZE viio'rTLE To all whom t may concern.' i i n Be it known that I, PAUL F. E. FEE'LR-` MANN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Santa Rosa, in the county of Sonoma and State of California, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in' Non- Reiillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification. y v

An vobject of this invention is the provision of a non-refillable bottle including a bottle neck having a circumferential enlargement provided with grooves permitting the dispensation of the contents of the bottle and a plastic filler molded intothe enlargement thereby preventing tampering with the parts of the bottle valve.

Another object is the provision of a nonrefllable bottle embodyingv a novel valve housing in the lower end of which is removably secured the valve seat.

With these and other objects in view, thel invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement, and formation of parts as will be hereinafter specilically described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 represents a sectional view'- through the upper portion lof a non-refillable bottle constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 represents a transverse sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a transverse sectional view on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 represents a transverse sectional view on the line 4 4 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 represents a detail sectional view, partly broken away, of the bottom portion of the bottle. 'f

Referring to the drawing in detail, wherein similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral 1 indicates the portion of a bottle of ordinary construction adjacent the neck 2, having an inwardly directed shoulder 3 on its inner face, and a circumferential enlargement v`4 adjacentits open end, provided with a series of transversely disposed channels or grooves 5. end of the bottle is adapted to be closed by a stopper 6 of the ordinary or any preferred' construction.

Intermediate the circumferential enlargement 4 and the shoulder 3, a valve housing/7 is disposed in the neck 2, and provided with'a central cavity 8 receiving the specificati@ of Lettsfratent., .Y

The open i housing 7 isformed with a pair of dia- A,STATES letenftehulyl1-9l5- Appiicationmefi/Jne 20,1191@ Iserial No. 846,380.

metrically opposed and longitudinally eX- tending ingwith the cavity 11. A hollow annular'member 10 is formed in the neck 2 of the bottle and is against the shoulder 3. A valve seat 12 is grooves or channels 9, communicat- 8, through the openingy f s 6o integral with the housing 7 snugly lits withengaged positioned within the annular member 10 and supported on the shoulder 3, and is Vprovided with the usual opening 18 therethrough, adapted to be closed by the" valve 20. The valve seat 12 is preferably formed of cork or similar inexpensive material.

A disk 15, preferably formed of cork or a similar fibrous material, is seated within the lower half of the circumferential enlargement 4, and-.a layer 16 of suitable plastic compositionsuch as cement is laid over the disk 15 and -disposed within said` en-` largement. While the plastic layer of cement is beingpoured upon the cork disk 15, the

grooves orchannels 5 are preferablyclosedv by the fingers of a suitable instrument positioned therein, land the fingers are `subseso'y quently withdrawn after the. plastic ma-` f terial has matured.

- In use, the bottle 1 is inverted in the usual manner and the valve 14 moved to the outer end of the cavity 8 by gravity, and the contents of the bottle flows through the openings 13, openings 11, channels v5` and 9.' When the bottle yis returned to its. normal` position, as illustrated inv Fig. 1, the ball valve' 14 is seated against the seat 12, closing.

the port or opening 13and preventing the dispensation or evaporation of the contents. A

When the bottle is'not in use the open end j; thereof is preferably closed by a cork or' i n 95 other stopper 6, to prevent the accumulation of dust in the neck thereof. y What I claim is A non-reillable bottle comprising a bot-y tle neck having a circumferential enlargement adjacent the openend provided with transversely extending channels or grooves,

an inwardly directed `shoulder on the inner face of said neck, a valve housing seated inl said neck between ksaid enlargement and said shoulder and 'having diametrically opposed and longitudinally extending channels, an annular member formed integral With` said housing,and seated on said shoulder, a valve seat removably seated Within said annular In testimony whereof I affix my signature member, a iorous disk positioned upon said in presence oi' two Witnesses.
